Silverlight/Moonlight have been getting a lot of "shit" from FOSS and such lateley... however, is it all that worse than Flash?

Yes! Because it's developed by a company with a very strong interest to protect the monopoly position of their own operating system.

Silverlight/Moonlight has the word TRAP written all over it. Avoid!!
